As
reported here early this month, rumors
are flying that the Silver Surfer and Galactus will be the villains in the forthcoming
Fantastic
Four sequel.
As a result - and because rumors are the lifeblood of the internets - people immediately started to discuss who might
play the roles (assuming, of course, that the phase one rumors are true). Names like
The
Rock,
Vin
Diesel, and
Wesley Snipes have been associated with the Silver
Surfer in the past, but the one that seems to be in the forefront of discussions this time belongs to a much smaller
man:
Keanu
Reeves. Supposedly Reeves is being considered for the role by people with actual power, and not just by fanboys. I'm
a little confused about how, if those three, muscle-bound dudes are appropriate body types, Reeves can actually play the
part - perhaps it's his
Point Break surfing experience that
gives him the edge.
